Keq P = K1+K2
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Equivalent Spring Stiffness connected in parallel - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Equivalent Spring Stiffness connected in parallel is the total stiffness of multiple springs connected in parallel in a mechanical system.
Stiffness of 1st Spring - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Stiffness of 1st Spring is the measure of resistance to deformation of the first spring in a series or parallel connection of springs.
Stiffness of 2nd Spring - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Stiffness of 2nd Spring is the measure of resistance to deformation of the second spring in a system of springs connected in series or parallel.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Stiffness of 1st Spring: 15 Newton per Millimeter --> 15000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion ​here)
Stiffness of 2nd Spring: 12 Newton per Millimeter --> 12000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion ​here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Keq P = K1+K2 --> 15000+12000
Evaluating ... ...
Keq P = 27000
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
27000 Newton per Meter -->27 Newton per Millimeter (Check conversion ​here)
FINAL ANSWER
27 Newton per Millimeter <-- Equivalent Spring Stiffness connected in parallel
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
